Crikey, it's a week into October and a whole month since I last posted. What a busy month (nay...manic month) it has been. We finally moved out of our house on 21st September after a very stressful few months. I won't go into the nitty gritty but on the Friday before we were expecting to move on the Tuesday I gave the solicitor an ultimatum: either we exchanged on the Friday and completed on the Tuesday or WE WERE PULLING OUT and forgetting the whole thing. I fully expected the move to fail but the deal was pulled off at the very last minute. So here we are at last 😃
As you can see from the 'before' shot at the last house......
...and the 'after' one at the new bungalow below, we are nowhere near as overlooked as we were. The garden is flatter, bigger and, sadly, now a blank canvas once more. We are planning what to do with it but it will have to wait until next Spring for any work to be done on it. We are plumb tuckered out.
On the left hand side is our new garage which will become G's play area as he no longer has a shed 😅
It's plenty big enough. I don't have that many clothes and my chest of drawers is great for folded jumpers, nightwear and undies.
Take care everyone wherever in the world you happen to be. I'll try not to leave it so long before my next post x
Glad you are in, moving is stressful, now to plan your garden again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marlene, now I can breathe at last!
DeleteYour garden looks like a wonderful blank canvas and the Winter months will give you lots of time to make plans for it ... once you have gotten your breath back after the move. And I think it's only right that you lay claim to the second bedroom if G has claimed the garage :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Home xx
Thanks so much, Sue, I think we'll enjoy taking time to plan the garden for next year. G is already planning a workshop in the garage 🤣
DeleteBlank will be fun when you get your breath back. And so worth itto have just the one window to 'hedge' instead of a row of upstairs.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Diana, we might possibly put a bit of trellis on top of the fence for screening. That's all it would take for complete privacy.
DeleteThank goodness you finally got there - hope it's a nice quiet spot.
ReplyDeleteSo far it's quiet and peaceful, Sue, so we are hopeful for a quiet life now. Fingers crossed 🤞
DeleteThat's great! You did it. Moving is always stressful. That's great that you have more privacy in your new garden. That makes such a big difference.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed, Stephenie, the garden feels much more private and we are surrounded by trees so everywhere smells much fresher and calming.
DeleteSo glad you have finally made it to your new home and a little more privacy. Wishing you a more peaceful life and lovely neighbours too xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beverley, we've met 2 lots of neighbours so far and they seem lovely 😊 xx
